Chinese Rocket Launched Laser Guided Glide Bomb.

[Kompromat]

This is one of the most weirdest weapons i have seen in recent times.

It kind of resembles the Anti-Tank Chinese Missile that Pakistan produces under license named " Bakter shikan"

No

No

SLC radar data linkage?

UAV doing the lasering?

 

[Kompromat]

Sat kit is installed behind the wings. Basically its a glide LGB launched through a rocket rather than an aircraft.

UAV doing the lasering?

UAVs, Ground infiltration units and other EOTS/FLAIR systems i.e on unarmed C-130s and helos can do the lasing.

Overall its a cheaper way of precision bombing. You don't need to risk a 100 million dollar jet plus saving the fuel.

Or they are experimenting with satellite based laser ranging. Which I bet is one of the things the US is doing with the X-37. But how practical is that with clouds and dispersion. It would be tough to jam.

looks completely different

Interesting configuration indeed
so what I see is the rear section is the rocket booster
mid section holding the glider uav and the bomb
the front is the sensor and the laser structure?

The uav looks too small to carry the gliding weight of the rest of the bomb even when the booster is spent and detached

 

[Ra'ad]

Nice! They should arm the SLCs with this. This way they become self-sufficient hunter-killer units, reducing response time, increasing effectiveness, especially in the case of MLRS which runs away quickly after launching salvos.

It's not a UAV, it's just a strap on glide kit like the ones we see on ls/tg/lt series PGMs.

I believe that is mounted on to function as a glider and of course unmanned and its courses are directed by a built-in control gadget with communications to the control center through the sensor at the top

If these conditions are met then I believe it is uav

I wonder how fast the whole thing can travel as there are a lot of areas that it needs to streamline before it can hit greater speed

By that definition all guided glide bombs are UAVs. Anyways, check out the TG series laser guided glide bomb:

You cant tell because the one mounted on the bomb section looks like uav
It will be more so if it can fly independently of the rest like a stand alone uav
